Wedding Projects List

/

I am a list person. I LOVE lists. And so trying to keep track of the various wedding projects without making a MASTER list has led to unnecessary stress and a lack of forward progress. So, to document my various projects here comes the list of all DIY wedding lists. Brace yourselves:
